Campaign Letter.
New York :
The fact of the matter is tha-
the democratic } confidence of
three months ago has been
changed to doubt and despera
tion. Whatever argument is
used concerning any issue ,
whether the work of the admin
istration or the record of Con
gress the republicans have the
best of it. The only remaining
democratic hope is in factional
differences , and these will dis
appear before the 8th of Novem
ber.
Then came the announcement
from the democratic press bureau
that the so-called republicans
would try to 'defeat the insurgents -
gents would try to defeat the
regulars. This had full pail for
a day and then it was exploded
by Chairman McKinley not only
denying the assertion credited to
the democratic chairman , but
stating sositively that all re
publicans , no matter what might
be their individual or factional
differences , would work and vote
for the regular nomincBB ot the
primaries or convention.
The congressional campaign ,
which is now in full swing ,
seems destined to be very much
like preceding campaigns especi
ally in the matter of political
canards and democratic misre
presentations.
The accusation against Vice.
President Sherman by Senator
Gore had the headlines for a
whole day , and then came Mr.
Sherman' denial and the sub
sequent crawling into the hole of
the senator himself. It was very
mall p olitics for Senator Gore to
enter into , and yet it is perhaps
a fair sample of what we may
expect continously during the
: an ipatgn.
As ttisfal , during the campaign
Lhe people must be warned
ga : nt detnocnttic inisrcprcsnta-
, i ti 3. flctor" tlift Assertions of a
letn Dcratic paper or speaker is
iicce pled they should be compar
ed with the facts in the case and
the fullest investigation should
be made.
f.t is believed that the voter of
today is too intelligent to make
up his mind before reading both
sides of a story , and before the
8th of November there will be an
opportunity to become fully in
formed upon all public questions
and all cainpain statements.
Then came the statement of
what Mr. Taft would endeavor
to do in the coming years o his
administration particularly as
bringing ab ut retrenchments in
expenditures and economy in all
departments. This was met by
slurs from .democratic papers to
the effect that some money might
be saved on typewriter ribbons
and other office applicances , but
giving the President no credit
for honest intentions , or for
practical work in that line
already accomplished. The
people know that under Mr.
Taft's administration millions of
dollars have already been saved
in actual expenditures and that
nearly thirty millions less were
appropriated at the last regular
session of Congress than at the
preceding regular session.
In spite of the cancards and
misrepresentations that have been
started , there is , however , a most
marked change in general ob
served in the press of the country
and in the expressions ' of the
people. In the first place , the
new tariff law is no longer sneer
ed at by any one it is. acknowl
edged quite generally that it is a
most successful law. The ' chang
ing of a deficit of SSBjO'OfyOOD tea
a surplus of 15,000,000 cannot
be controverted by any enemy
of the tariff law , for it is an
absolute fact. The immense in
crease of importation of manu
factures' material proves that
our factores have been busy and
labor pretty well employed , and
the increase in wages has a.ddcd
so much to the purchasing power [
of the people as to benefit all
producers of both farm and
factory.
The Reduced Tariff.
The completed statistics of im
ports for the past fiscal year re-
afirm what has been already
shown as the actual operation of
the revised tariff. The great
increase in importations is to be
attributed to general revival of
of business activity , rather than
to the effect of the tariff , though
it is evident that at least this did
not retard the revival. It was
most directly operative in the
increased proportion of goods im
ported free of duty , which form
ed a larger percentage of the
whole than in any previous HI e
period , except when raw sugar
was admitted duty free.
The aggregate duties collected
upon all imports under the re
vised tarifi would average 20.9 $
per cent ad valorem. Under the
McKiuley law this average was
25.48 per cent ; under the Wilson
law , 21.92 per cent , and under
the Dingley law , 23.13 per cent.
Thus it appears that the actual
taxation imposed by the present
tariff is less than under the dem
ocratic tariff , which was denpuc-
ed by republicans as favoring
"free trade" .
Upon all dutiable imports
excluding those admitted free
tha average rate of duty is
shown to be 41.1J per cent ad
valorem under the revised tariff
against , 47.10 under the McKiu-
ley tarff 43.82 under the Wilson
and 45.76 uhder the Dingley law.
Here ngaiji there .afcgcara a very
distinct reduction f the aver
age duties below that of any
previous tarifi.
Whatever attacks may be made
against individual schedules of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff the
'contention that the duties were
revised "upward" and not "down
ward" cannot be maintained in
Uiu face of these figures. Mean
while the tariff has been bring
ing in such excellent results in
increased revenues that there
will be less and less disposition
to disturb it. Philadelphia Led-
gar.
Praise for tlic President.
Whatever the people may have
thought a few weeks ago , there
is no question about it to-day.
President Taft has made good.
Few men realise what fixity of
purpose , what strength , sagacity ,
rood , humor and patience
were required to bring order out
ot the chaos that existed during
the clotting weeks of this session
of Congress. Some people mis
took his good humor for weak
ness , his patience for pliability ;
events have moved sadly mis
taken they were. To-day there
are few who do not know that
the Taft smile is but a mask for
dogged determination and an
iron will.
Seldom has it fallen to the lot
of any man to surmount greater
obstacles in carrying out his
promises than to the President.
Beset on all sides by violent and
unjust critism , harassed by fact
ional disputes , he remained se
renely confident to the end , and
the end was a triumph. He had
determined from the beginning
that party pledges were made to
be performed. To-day these are
the laws of the land.
No such programme of con
structive and progressive leg
islation has ever been enacted at
any sessiqn of Congress in Ameri
can history. It is a record of
magnificent achievement and the
glory belongs first to the Presi
dent of the United States. Con

Exchange Value of Farm Products.
While the prices of practically
all commodities have shown
some advance during the last few
years , the products of the fam
sho.w a much greater advance
than do the products of mines
and factories. The financial
condition of the gram raiser , the
general farmer and the dairyman
is better than ever before and
never was the purchasing power
of farm products so great.
Senator Reed Smoot , in a
speech before the United States
Senator , May 27 , 1910 , declared
farm land itself had advanced in
value rapidly and everything
produced on the farm had risen
materially. Financially , the
farmer has become independent.
The rural free delivery and the
telephone have placed him in
touch with currant events as is
the city dweller.
The average prices of the
principal farm products in March
1910 , and March 1896 , as shown
by the bulletins of United States
Bureau of Labor reveal in a
striking manner the prosperity
of the farmer ,
The real value of any article
is its exchange value. The real
worth of farm products is meas
ured by | comparison with the
value of articles which the far
mer wants to purchase ,
Figuring on the general whole
sale price of articles , ten bushels
of corn in 1896 would buy twenty-
one pounds ot Rio coffee , in 1910
seventy pounds ; ten bushels of
corn equaled in value fifty-three
gallons of refined petroleum in
March 1910 , twenty three gallons
lens in March , 1896 ; ten bushels
of corn equaled in value 1,040
brick in March , 1910 and 519 in
March , 1896 ; ten bushels of corn
equaled in va-lua 337 pounds of
$ J wite nails in March 1910 , and
95 pounds of corn equaled in
value Ul pocmds of sugar in
March , 1910 , and 59 pounds in
March , 189u , etc.

These comparisons might be
continued indefinitely , the same
state of affairs existing in every
line of goods which the farmer
buys whether to eat or to wear ,
whether to house himself and
his stock or to operate his farm
in every case the rise in the
value of the products of his farm
has been greater than the rise in
the value of the products he de
sires to buy.
Agriculture is the foundation
of our national wealth. Farmers
constitute our greatest class.
When the farmers prospers ever } '
one else must necessarily prosper ,
and the whole country goes
ahead.
Does the farmer , in the light
of these comparisons , desire to
turn back the hands on the clock
dial ? Does he prefer Cleveland
penury to Taft prosperity ? Let
him answer at the polls this fall.
